My Journey to Bolivia [PART IV] The Event :) After a few days working hard preparing stuff, gathering equipment, finding people who can help us cook and serve all the kids, the day had arrived. We had to go to the school (the only one at Machua) to ask the director to help us promote the event. As there is no internet there, the only way to make children aware of our event was by word-of-mouth. The event was expected to have around 150 young children, from ages 2 to 16 years old. Boys and girls came from different parts of the community and even from some villages with a 2 hour walk away. It was incredible for us to see how parents, brothers and sisters helped bring their kids. We had a total of 200 children and it made us really happy to see every child's smile. They enjoyed it so much when they received the food and gifts, and for us seeing the groups of kids to play with each other was truly special. Parents helped me to prepare the food and keep an eyev to the children, as they were many and need supervision when they are playing around, despite all, the people opened up the church’s door us, the church, where normally every Sunday they go with their families. In the morning, We had breakfast with hot chocolate, and in the afternoon pasta with soup. continue .....
